Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Always wear comfy shoes. Make sure they are shoes you have broken in before or you will suffer for sure. The cobbles on the streets make it next to impossible to walk with shoes with a heel. Also make sure your shoes have a good cushion in the sole, otherwise your feet will suffer. Trust me....I know!
Photo Equipment: If your camera takes batteries, buy plenty before you leave home. Since the euro,everything is more expensive, especially things like batteries.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Always carry a small umbrella or plastic raincoat,even if it's a sunny day. The weather can change on a dime and you could be soaked.
